I got my new radio on monday. They ordered it the wednesday before. Everyday they said it would be in and nothing came. Finally the dealer called chrysler and Chrysler said it that it had to be loaded with my VIN, software, etc and takes a few days. Good luck.

little info for people getting the service phone contact dealer message. My service adviser told me the new radio should have a blue dot on it for the new model purple is the old one. I might have that reversed so don't quote me I'll know for sure when my new radio comes in. I haven't even been to the dealer yet they were able to order me a new radio without a trip to the dealer. Just needed to email them the pictures of the message then they called me back asking for my XM ID .

ooo please find out if its blue or purple for sure. Then when mine comes in I can ask them your dealer seems a little more ahead of the game than mine.

Will do StaticFX they are calling me back to let me know when it will be in I'll ask again.
not sure where the dot would be don't see one on that picture. Btw that serial number has the same amount of digits as the serial you get from the dealer mode menu guess it's the same.

Refresh me.. Why do we think all of these radios will need to be replaced? Short of a bad batch of silicon at sierra wireless, I don't understand how an issue like this can get progressively worse and that a sw update won't fix it..

I just got a follow up phone call from uConnect. It wasn't from the person I spoke to Monday, because he no longer works there.

We were talking about the phone needs service message, and she said they were told 13.19.0 would fix that. When I told her I never got it until I did the update she was surprised. I told her it only happened once, and that this was not the problem I went to the dealer for.

She gave me her direct extension and asked if I would call her if it ever happened again. If nothing else, she is showing more interest than most.

I don't know if the Jeeps are getting better, but at least the attitude of the customer service reps seems to be improving.

Bill this is my situation as well. I've never revived the phone error message until after I updated to 13.19.0. Which is a shame because this has otherwise been the best build so far. SO my question is does the phone error message mean I need a new radio? I get this message about 10-20% of the time I start the vehicle. I also notice that when I do the little light in the rear view mirror is red versus green.

On a lighter note, the apple iOS app for uconnect was just updated to 1.1.9. Still no ViaMobile support

I also just got call a call from Uconnect about a ticket I opened last Sunday reqarding "phone needs service" and not "registered with Uconnect" messages, screen freezes, reboots while driving, wait while SXM loads, radio presets that cannot decide which fob is in car, frequent momentary loss of SXM signal, occasional loss of back up cam and black screen. Have seen the phone needs service message about 8 times now.

The rep also said she had not heard of "phone needs service & red light" only "after" install of 13.19. She said "phone needs service" can be from bad phone card or loss of cell signal for 911 access. The Assist button has been working since I opened the ticket with Uconnect and the rep confirmed they pushed an OTA fix for that. She also said the dealer will decide if a new radio is required.

While driving today had screen freeze. Was near the dealer so pulled in and had them document the freeze and discussed the other issues. They too indicated I will probably need a new radio. I will be taking it in soon so they can get the info needed to order a new radio?

From what Wills has posted it sounds like a new radio. Oddly, the Star case says only radios with s/w older than 13.10.4 (IIRC) get a new radio. All others get updated to 13.19.0.

I did have a good morning on the beach , caught a fish and missed the rain until half way home.

I brought my car in last Wednesday ( " phone needs service" issue ) and they ordered me a new radio.

I got a call today that the radio is in and scheduled install for Monday. I asked the parts guy if he could check the manufacture date on the radio to make sure I got a new one, built after June 12,2013.

He said he had the radio right in front of him and he told me it does not have a manufacture date on the radio. Was he mistaken?

Reason I ask is I have read that people have had their radios replaced with the older, problematic radios. I don't want to have to do this more than once.
